I'm happy to take on the position of editor in chief of IJMO. It's a journal that shows promise of becoming a recognized journal in the area of modelling and optimization. I'll work together with the editors to help it progress.

Effect of Mutual Coupling on Multiple Antenna Channel

Xue Cuiwei, Zhu Qiuming, Chen Xiaomin, Liu Xinglin, and Yang Ying

Abstract—The influence mechanism of mutual coupling (MC)
on multiple antennas system are studied. Some new exact
expressions of receiving signal vector, signal power and spatial
correlation coefficient are derived, which includes the effect of
MC. The capacity of multiple-input multiple- output (MIMO)
channel with MC in different conditions is also discussed.
Analysis and simulation results show that the modification of
signal parameters cased by MC is related to the MC matrix,
which is decided by antenna self-impendence, mutual
impendence and load impedance.
